The prosperity OF : town depends mp
on the general unity Of action Of her
whole people Even the poorest may DO
something towards booming his town, u
they will only look around their humble
home for On opportunity. The trouble
with most folks Il that they are continu-
ally looking away from themselves, In
stead or keeping an eye to the little i'm.
provemeuts that might Be made around
their own domicil. that would not only
add TO their comfort, but to their neigh
bor's g we'll. WITHDRAWING the fences
and outbuildings and setting out : few
flowers and evergreens add greatly to
the appearance Of everything In and
around your premises.
